Time Compression & SH3 Commander

Captain Nemo · 05-26-11, 07:05 AM

Under another topic (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=183836) I was discussing that in my installation of SH3/GWX, when a neutral or friendly ship are spotted my TC only drops to x8 (enemy ships drop to x1) thus giving me the advantage of knowing whether a ship is enemy or neutral without actually identifying it. I checked my Commander TC settings and noticed that the entry for "When enemy ship spotted" was set to x8. I thought that odd as TC drops to x1 in game for enemy ships. Anyway I changed the setting to x1 and started SH3. Now all ships including neutrals when spotted drop to x1 TC. Problem solved I thought, but unfortunately when neutral or friendly ships are spotted TC drops to x1 but I don't get the verbal notification from my WO. I do get the verbal notification when enemy ships are spotted, so I still know without getting close that a ship is neutral or enemy.

I have concluded that when enemy ships and planes are spotted it is somehow hardcoded in the game to drop TC to x1. The Commander setting, even though it specifies "enemy ships", only affects neutral and friendly ships.

What do others think?
